Devin Townsend - TERRIA appreciation thread

Very possibly the best album ever writen in my honest opinion.

Not so much as metal or chillout rock but just as music! its stunning how amazingly perfect it is. I bought it years ago and litrully hasnt left my CD player since i got it and is still there now

This album changed my life! Litrully!

Before i heard it i was an angry little shit who noone wanted anything to do with and only listened to the most insulting punishing death metal there was and didnt give a shit if it was as heavy as it gets.
A mate showed me Terria. Known SYL, i figured id give it a listen. "Devin is heavey as fuck!" I thought. Put it on and (iv no idea why) but the moment i realised its not going heavey i DIDNT turn it off.
Got to the end of the album in complete stunned shock. i didnt even know music like that was possible! and by the guy who writes SYL songs?!?!?!

Completly changed my way of thinking espesh towards music. basically tought me the value of melody.

Earth Day

Live


Stagnant


Deep Peace solo - not whole song amazing tune/solo still


The last 3 songs on the album are 1 song in my mind. there not, but i never ever listen to just one on its own. i cant help but have all 3

"Nobody's here" is the most chilled out dynamic and epic beyond epic thing ever EVER... just ... HOLY SHIT its great

then into "Tiny Tears". Beautiful, and almost seemingly a love/forgivness song. like the song before very ambience and hugly dynamic. great solo with many mood changes and takes u on a massive emotional journey. Amazing

and into "Stagnant" (above) which is the happy ending almost. much more upbeat and very likable with great melodies.

For me, this was one of those albums where over the years, at some point, every song has been my fav on the album. and everytime i listen to it i hear something new and beautifully amazing.
When someone asks the "if you stranded on a desert island with 3 cds. Which would you choose?" question i say "Devin Townsends Terria", you can keep the other 2
